Light People: Prof. John Bowers spoke about silicon photonics Chenzi GuoYating Wan Light People Open Access 09 Dec 2022 Quantum receiver enhanced by adaptive learning The proposed adaptive-learning framework empowers automatic design of quantum receivers capable of combating noise in distinguishing large-alphabet nonorthogonal quantum states. Experiments show up to 40% improvement over standard approaches. Chaohan CuiWilliam HorrocksZheshen Zhang Article Open Access 08 Dec 2022 Extending the dynamic temperature range of Boltzmann thermometers Boltzmann thermometers rely on the luminescence from energy levels in thermal equilibrium. Understanding of factors that enhance equilibration allows the design of lanthanide-based thermometers with extended operating range.
